It was the middle of winter and there was a huge snowstorm at both the miller and Seville residence. It had been snowing for days and the miller's were running out of food. So one day when the snow lightened up a bit Ms. Miller decided to go to the store for food. "Brittany?" Ms. Miller called. "Would you like to go to the store with me to get some food?" "Sure" Brittany said, walking up the stairs. "O and please ask Eleanor and Jeanette if they would like to go too." Said Ms. Miller. "OK" said Brittany running up the stairs and into her sister's room. "Jeanette, Eleanor, do you want to go to the store with Ms. Miller and I?" "Sure" shouted Eleanor jumping off the bed. "Mabye not today." Said Jeanette with her nose planted in a book. "OK" Said Brittany looking into the mirror and fixing her hair. Once she was done she looked over at Eleanor and asked, "Are you ready to go Eleanor?" "I sure am!" she replied with excitement to finally get out of the house. "OK, let's go" said Brittany walking towards the door. Then the three chipmunks walked down the stairs. "Ms. Miller" Jeanette said walking up to her. "I don't think I will go with you today." "OK" Ms. Miller said. "I think I will call Dave and see if he can watch you while we go to the store" So then Ms. Miller called Dave and asked "David do you think you could watch Jeanette while we go to the store?" "Well Alvin, Theodore, and I are going to the store too." Dave said. "What about Simon?" Ms. Miller said. "He didn't want to come" Dave said. "I have an idea though!" He said. "What if all the boys and I come to your house and I drop off Simon and you and the girls ride with us?" "That sounds great." Said Ms. Miller. "OK I will be there in ten minutes" Dave said. "OK bye David. "She replied then hung up the phone and went to tell the girls the news. Once she told them Jeanette couldn't wait till Simon got there. Once they arrived Simon came in and he and Jeanette waved goodbye to their siblings. "So what would you like to do first?" Simon asked Jeanette. "I don't know" she replied. "What if see if there is anything on television" she said. "Sure" Simon replied. So then Simon and Jeanette took a seat on the couch with a bowl of cheese balls and flipped through the channels. "Nope, no,next,next,next,no" Simon said flipping through the channels and then suddenly he stopped it on animal planet where they were doing a documentary on fish. He looked and Jeanette and puffed up his cheeks and puckered up like a fish and put his hand behind his cheeks and waved them back and forth and made a fish impression which made Jeanette blush and giggle. Then suddenly on TV the emergency storm tracker popped up and said "There are massive amounts of snow coming and that the power is likely to go out and stay out." Jeanette suddenly got a concerned look on her face and Simon noticed. "What's wrong" He said gently. "The storm… I don't like it when the power goes out" Jeanette said. "It's OK" Simon said. "Nothing's going to happen it will be OK" he said. "I hope so" she said. Then suddenly the phone rang and Simon went to get it. "Hello" he said. "Hey Simon, It's Ms. Miller and we are not going to be able to make it home and we are going to have to stay in a hotel tonight" she said. "OK" Simon said. "OK bye Simon" she said. "Bye" he replied and hung up. "Who was that" Jeanette asked. "It was Ms. Miller" Simon said. "And she said that they were going to have to stay in a hotel tonight cauz the weather is so bad." He said. "O OK" Jeanette said. Then suddenly the power went out and it caused Jeanette to let out a scream which startled Simon and caused him to fall off the couch with a thud. "Ouch" he said picking up his glasses and putting them back on his face then jumping back on the couch. "Are you ok Jeanette?" he asked. There was no reply. "Jeanette" he said walking toward her with his hands out to feel where he was going in the darkness. Then suddenly he tripped and fell on Jeanette and somehow their lips met and they both pulled back and blushed. "Sorry Jeanette Um.. sorry I Um… didn't Um…. Mean to." Simon stuttered. "It's OK" Jeanette whispered. " S..s..imon…" Jeanette said. "Yes?" Simon said. "I'm scared" Jeanette whispered. "It's ok" Simon said. Then he heard rustling like someone moving across the couch then suddenly felt two small arms wrap around him and hold him tight. Then he wrapped his arms around Jeanette. "I'm cold" said Jeanette. "Well let's go get some blankets and we can sleep on the couch tonight" Simon replied. "OK" Jeanette said. So the two chipmunks felt their way around the house up the stairs and around corners till they found the closet. Once they found the closet they opened it and grabbed some blankets and a flashlight. Simon switched the flashlight on and shined it on Jeanette causing her to squint and cover her eyes. Then he shined it toward the blankets so Jeanette could see to pick them up. Once she had them she grabbed Simons hand and they walked down stairs back to the couch. Simon put the blankets on the couch and then helped Jeanette jump onto the couch. Then Jeanette lied down and started to shake cauz she was cold. Simon noticed and walked over to where Jeanette was laying and lied down beside her and wrapped his arms around her and they both fell fast asleep.
